Thursday 2nd of March 2023
Quoth the ETwA T.O. of the NHIPper on Saturday: As this tournament consists of 7 rounds, we ideally want to get things going ASAP on the day. As such we won’t wait until 10:30am to do a draw and start the first round. All games in the first round are to be started no later than the previously advertised squidge off time of 10:30am. This means that if you want to be in the draw for the first round, I would highly recommend aiming to arrive for 10am. The aim is to play 3 rounds before lunch if at all possible.

The Hot Green Beany will be held from 7:30pm on Monday 12th of December, starting in The Empress (corner of St Philip’s Road and Thoday Street, near Mill Road). For the uninitiated, the Hot Green Beany is a traditional end-of-year bonus pub crawl (it does not “count" towards the normal pub tour) of venues with trivia machines, where CUTwC fails to win enough money to buy poppadoms at a subsequent curry. The name comes from Droogs, who on being presented with a chicken jalfrezi at the end of the crawl asked “what are these hot green beany things?" This year it appears that the Empress is the only pub in Cambridge still retaining a trivia machine (post-COVID), so the entire evening may be spent there, possibly with a diversion to bar billiards. One would expect curry to happen in the Curry Queen. Please don’t slip over on the ice.

Easter Term 2021

Tuesday 29th of June 2021
Tomorrow is, confusingly, a Wednesday and the 30th of June, which causes insuperable difficulties for the President because someone had the cheek to schedule a graduands’ dinner on that evening. The AGM is therefore most likely to be held on July 7th instead, except that it’s an EGM because it’s not Term any more, with the meeting of June 30th a standard (ordinary but not general) meeting as (these days) usual via Zoom from 7:30pm.
Wednesday 23rd of June 2021
Confirmation that the Charles Relle Trophy will be held over Zoom at 7:30pm today. The President still has cause to be smug.
Sunday 20th of June 2021
It would appear that the rumours of a SEPTIC Garden Party tomorrow (Monday 21st) have been scuppered by a combination of apathy and a delayed end to COVID lockdown.

CUTwC is saddened to hear of the death of HRH The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Prince Philip was involved in the increase of popularity of tiddlywinks in the UK in the 1957-1958 season, after an article entitled “Does Prince Philip Cheat at Tiddlywinks?" led to “the Royal Match" against CUTwC with the Goons as royal champions. In 1961 he donated the Silver Wink trophy for inter-university matches, contested many times since and currently held by CUTwC. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

Apparently there may also be sick bats, or something. (Which is odd, I thought that was ebolavirus, not COVID-19.)
Please see the mailing list for details, because I don’t want to be responsible for us getting Zoom bombed.
Tuesday 19th of May 2020
There will be a CUTwC Zoom meeting (again) from 7:30pm on Wednesday May 20th.

He was, of course, the originator of his eponymous trophy, which ends every term. He is a great loss to the game, to ETwA and to CUTwC, and we send our commiserations to his family and many friends.

Tuesday 20th of October 1998
You may have noticed that there was no pub crawl on Saturday (oops — actually, I should have corrected this before — I hope no-one turned up), and that there was no sign of Dr Purvis on the 10th. The crawl will now happen on the 24th, which is also the new transmission date for the winking Moment of Truth.

To avoid further confusion, there’s now a calendar above [edit: updated for Lent/Easter], which should make it easier to correct this kind of thing. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Also, belatedly, the Nick Ashley Trophy is running this term.

Wednesday 15th of July 1998
To show willing, I believe there will be winks this evening, probably in the Erasmus Room. At least, I’m going to turn up (probably traditionally late), so I hope someone else will be there.

Again, there will be no winks this evening. Again, it’s likely that there will be next week.

Tuesday 23rd of June 1998
For those going to the London Open, the location of the Crofton Leisure Centre may be found here — I believe it’s attached to the school. Change the map scale to see the surroundings — it’s near the A2. There is (or was last year) a car park. I’ll probably be driving, so let me know if you’re in Cambridge and want a lift.
